Definitions
- This invention relates to a coating material coated on organic and/or inorganic surfaces and a fiber optic sensor, in which this coating material is used.
- Various problems arise in coating of the surface of glass or plastic fiber optic and especially PolyMethylMethAcrylate (PMMA) materials with sensor materials especially the material PolyEthyleneGlycol (PEG).
- PMMA PolyMethylMethAcrylate
- PEG PolyEthyleneGlycol
- the PMMA material can not be coated permanently with the PEG material used as sensor material in fiber optic humidity sensors because it dissolves in water easily.
- the British Patent No 977820 describes the coating of glass panels by a compound containing ethylenic carboxyl acid amide copolymer.
- the British Patent No 1026499 describes the coating of glass fiber optic surface by a saturated, polyester, water insoluble material.
- the object of this invention is the realisation of a coating material providing the coating of organic and/or inorganic surfaces with sensor materials that are especially easily soluble in water.
- Another object of this invention is the realisation of a fiber optic sensor coated with a sensor produced using the coating material.
- a fiber optic sensor in which the coating material realised to reach the objectives of this invention is used, is shown in the attached figures, whereby, [009] Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a fiber optic sensor.
- the coating material which is the object of the present invention comprises sensor material affected by the changes in humidity, temperature, pressure and other similar quantities, and, because of this characteristic of sensor material, a binding group enabling the coating of the sensor material used in fiber optic sensors (1) on organic or inorganic surface with an adhesive effect.
- the binding group has an adhesive effect and trialkoxy silane is used as binding group; and gamma - isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane is preferably used.
- sensor material oligomer and/or polymer materials sensitive to different chemicals with the endings hydroxyl, amino, thiol, carboxyl, can be used.
- polyethyleneglycol (PEG) having a humidity holding characteristic is used as sensor material.
- the humidity of the PEG material is removed in toluene solvent by dean-stark distillation method.
- the PEG from which the humidity has been removed and toluene solution is processed with gamma - isocyanatopropyl- triethoxysilane which has an adhering effect and is used as binding group.
- hydroxyl (OH) groups in the PEG material with hydroxyl ending reacts with gamma - isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane of the trialkoxy silane groups used as binding group and as a result of this reaction, trialkoxy silane groups are bound to the ends of PEG chains with urethane bond.
- Coating material whose end groups are trialkoxy silane is obtained by combining PEG with gamma - isocyanatopropyltri- ethoxysilane.
- the general formula of the PEG combination of the coating material which is the object of the present invention, having end groups covered by trialkoxy silane created as a result of the reaction of PEG with gamma - isocyanatopropyltri- ethoxysilane is given below:
- the fiber optic sensor (1) in which the coating material, the object of the invention is used comprises a core (2) used as light transmission line, a cladding (3) wrapping the core (2) all around, the refraction index of which is smaller than the refraction index of the core (2), a detector (4) produced of a coating material that can be coated on organic/inorganic surfaces completely, a transmitter (5) used as light source and a receiver (6) sensing the light.
- Detectors (4) used in fiber optic sensors (1) with which different quantities can be sensed, can be obtained by changing the sensor material contained in the coating material.
- a core (2) obtained preferably from PMMA material is used.
- the section between the core (2) and the cladding (3) wrapping the core (2) all around is etched partially or completely using different methods and a section to be coated by the detector (4) is uncovered.
- the detector (4) made of PEG coating material with the end groups covered by trialkoxy silane can easily be coated permanently by making cross bond on PMMA material using coating methods spray method, solvent coating, electrospray coating and dipping.
- the detector (4) is coated preferably by applying the dip coating method.
- the light entering the core (2) from the transmitter(5), preferably monochromatic, used as light source can not go out of the core (2) since the refraction index of the cladding (3) surrounding the core (2) is smaller than the refraction index of the core (2) and being reflected from the cladding (3) it advances in the core (2). During this advancement, the light passes through also by being reflected from the detector (4).
- the refraction index of the detector (4) is greater than the refraction index of the core (2)
- the light advancing by reflecting in the core (2) does not reflect from the detector (4) whose refraction index becomes greater than the refraction index of the core (2), and is disseminated to the environment being refracted with a certain angle.
- the amount of light sensed by the receiver (6) located at one end of the fiber optic relatively decreases.
- the refraction index of the detector (4) is smaller than the refraction index of the core (2) (e.g.
- the normalized refraction index difference for the core and cladding is nearly at the level of 0.1% - 0.3%) the amount of light passing through the detector (4) by being refracted relatively increases. Consequently, the amount of light sensed by the receiver (6) located at one end of the fiber optic changes depending on the humidity concentration.
- the detector (4) which is the object of the invention enables in sensors, especially optical and fiber optic sensors (1), the complete coating of the sensor material on organic / inorganic surfaces. Resulting from coating of the PEG material, easily soluble in water and used in humidity sensors because of its humidity holding characteristic, on fiber optic permanently, fiber optic sensor (1) can be used for sensing of humidity effectively.
- the coating material which is the object of the present invention long lasting adhesion of the sensor material on organic / inorganic surfaces is provided.
- the detector (4) obtained from this coating material is used in fiber optic sensors - especially fiber optic humidity sensors - effectively.
